You
don't know where to hide and wish fervently that the earth
opens up and swallows you up!

What
is bad breath?
Bad
breath is usually caused by bacteria that grow in the mouth. These
bacteria release foul smelling compounds causing your breath to
smell. Eating pungent food like onion, garlic may cause your breath
to smell bad. Other medical conditions like sinusitis or gum disease
may also cause bad breath.

So
now how do you prevent bad breath?
First and foremost, brush your teeth properly
(see  how do we take care of our teeth) and keep your teeth
tartar and plaque free. If bad breath still persists, consult your
doctor to check for other medical problems.
Using mouth wash, sugar free
chewing gum or sucking mints may temporarily help to mask the odor
but it will not treat the problem.

So ensure proper cleanliness of teeth
And give your bad breath a good retreat
